I don't see how drawing a conclusion from a single data point is particularly more intelligent than downgrading a stock on historical data points. One thing we know for sure is no analyst will be right all of the time. by definition when an analyst is wrong he will have to publish after the fact. The surprising thing would be if analysts were never wrong. However, any observation of single data points are meaningless. Making lists of single data points, that are expected outcomes by the way, with out any context is not knowledge accretive.<BR/>Wall street analysts may be complete idiots, this particular ML analyst may be the biggest idiot, i just don't know.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15136541075745913165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9906338.post-1667376543075511372007-09-17T21:53:00.000-04:002007-09-17T21:53:00.000-04:00Lovely Jeff.
